Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing thermoplastic sheets excellent in optical properties, such as transparency and/or glossiness, outer properties, such as surface smoothness, and rigidity, and an apparatus therefor. Such a thermoplastic sheet (19) is manufactured by introducing a molten thermoplastic resin (2), which is extruded in the shape of a sheet from a T-die (1) of a T-die extruder, into a clearance between a cast drum (3) and an endless metal belt (4) arcuately opposed via a predetermined gap to the surface of the drum and primarily cooling the sheet type molten resin (2) to a temperature in the range from a level at which the resin is thermally deformed to a level at which the resin is softened while pressing the resin (2) between the cast drum (3) and endless metal belt (4); introducing the primarily cooled sheet (9) immediately into a cooling vessel (10), in which cooling water is held, and secondarily cooling the sheet to a solidification point of the resin; removing the cooling water deposited on the the secondarily cooled sheet (11); and improving the performance of the deposited water-removed sheet (14) by heating the same at a temperature in the range from the mentioned thermal deformation temperature minus 40 °C to the mentioned deformation temperature plus 40 °C. The metal belt (4) serving as a pressing-cooling means is supported on three metal rollers, i.e. first, second and third metal rollers (5, 6, 7) so that the belt can be turned, and an arcuate drum-opposed section meantioned above or an arcuate pressing-cooling section (8) is formed between the first and second metal rollers (5, 6). A deposited water removing means consists, for example, of a pair of pinch rolls (12) and an air blower (13), and a heating means, for example, a plurality of metal heating rolls (15, 16, 17, 18). This thermoplastic sheet (19) is useful as a packaging material for food and medicine, as a material for stationery, as a material for the production of packaging cases for cosmetics and domestic articles, and as other industrial material.

Abstract: L'invention décrit un réseau à haute performance de billes en forme de grille dans lequel le réseau de billes en forme de grille est modifié de manière à inclure un corps ayant une cavité centrale creuse. Le fait de prévoir une cavité centrale permet à la microplaquette d'être montée sur le même côté du boîtier que les billes de soudage. Comme la microplaquette est montée sur le même côté que les billes de soudage, un seul jeu de conducteurs suffit pour connecter électriquement la microplaquette aux billes de soudage. De cette manière, on n'a besoin que d'une seule couche de matériau électroconducteur dans le boîtier, par opposition aux boîtiers à réseau de billes en forme de grille usuels, qui nécessitent deux couches métalliques. En plus, comme une seule couche métallique est nécessaire, la présente invention permet de se passer de traversées électroconductrices. La microplaquette est connectée par l'intermédiaire de fils métalliques à des zones de fixation se trouvant sur le boîtier. Chacune des zones de fixation est sensiblement coplanaire et se trouve à une distance différente d'un bord de la cavité centrale, ce qui produit une disposition en quinconce. L'avantage d'avoir des zones de fixation avec cette disposition en quinconce est qu'on peut maintenir l'espacement entre les fils métalliques adjacents individuels. On évite ainsi que les fils de fixation ne s'écartent en éventail, et d'avoir à réaliser des zones de fixation à plusieurs niveaux dans le boîtier.

Abstract: An enhanced reality maintenance system for operating in a hazardous or inaccessible environment employs an environment modeler which is supplied with spatial parameters of a given environment and creates a computer model of the environment. An environment renderer creates a plurality of images, each corresponding to a viewing location and orientation, 'viewpoint'. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) attached to a base unit by a tether cord or radio link navigates in the environment. The ROV has a spatial imaging device, such as a video camera, and actuators which propel it through the environment. Its position and orientation are determined by a position and attitude (P&A) sensing unit, and are passed to an ROV renderer which creates an image of a prestored model of the ROV having the same location and orientation as the ROV and viewed from a specified viewpoint. The viewpoints may be predetermined, provided to the system or may be interactively determined as an offset from the ROV position and orientation. Alternative embodiments include an image archive and comparison unit capable of storing images linked to information of the image acquisition, retrieving stored images with the image acquisition into and transforming one of the images to match the image acquisition information of the other image. Also, another embodiment employs an automated flight planner, which receives desired destinations from an operator, analyzes the environment and ROV models, and navigates the ROV through the desired trajectory without collision.

Abstract: The falling voltage slope charge termination routine is performed during intervals of the charging cycle in which signal-to-noise ratio is comparatively high. The falling voltage slope charge termination technique is automatically disabled or rendered less sensitive to noise during times when the signal-to-noise ratio is comparatively low. In this way, accurate charge termination is accomplished without error otherwise induced by voltage noise during charging. The charge termination technique responds quickly to a charged battery indication, since signal averaging to negate the effects of noise can be minimised or eliminated.
